I am at the stage in life where I divide everything into

two categories: my problem - not my problem. If it's my problem I fix

it. If it's not my problem I don't worry about it. When you do this

life becomes very simple. I avoid toxic people. I avoid negative

people. I don't tolerate whining well. I have a list of coping skills

on my bulletin board. When I feel I need food to cope I read through

the list first.
